Chapter Two History of Inoculation and Immunization A Shot in the Dark: Lay Perception of Inoculations and Anti-Vaccination Discourse By ©Andrea Kitta A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in pat1ial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor ofPhilosophy Department ofFolklore Memorial University ofNewfoundland July 2009 St. John's Newfoundland Abstract In spite ofthe success of the childhood inoculation movement, questions about vaccines have increasingly been an object of concern for Canadians. This thesis explores vernacular beliefs and practices that surround decisions not to vaccinate, with the primary aim of providing concrete recommendations for improving inoculation promotion programs. Ideally health education programs are community based, involve collaborative partnerships between communities, researchers, and service providers, and make use of local concerns. Understanding health choices is dependent on exploring the variety of cultural issues and influences that constitute risk for the communities and individuals in question. Risk categories and 1isk perception are multifaceted, culture bound, personal, and political. Through the use of ethnographic, media, and narrative analysis, this thesis explores the vernacular explanatory models used in inoculation decision-making. The purpose of this research is targeted at the creation of public health education programs and promotional materials which respond to patients' real fears, real understandings of risk, real concerns, and real doubts. Explming the nature of inoculation distrust and miscommunication, this work isolates areas which require better public health communication and greater cultural sensitivity in the handling of inoculation programs. It also suggests guidelines for physician interaction with inoculation resistant patients. 11 Acknowledgements There are many people to which I am indebted, many of whom will likely have been forgotten in this section. As with any major work, I was influenced by everything I encountered since the day I was inspired to write on vaccination after seeing yet another news report on MMR and Autism. Although many of these small insights have been forgotten over time, I would like to think that there is a part of all of them, and a pru1 of everyone, in this work. First, I would like to thank everyone involved with the Depar1ment of Folklore at Memorial University. I have never encountered a more supportive environment. It was that support and encouragement which led me throughout my classes, comprehensive exams, research, and every other aspect of my life, both academic and non-academic. I would like to thank everyone for their open doors, thoughtful responses, and the opportunities they gave me. It is rare to see a department which fosters a climate where students feel like active participants in their education and valued members of a team. Words cannot express how fortunate 1 feel to be a part of the Department of Folklore at Memorial University. I would also like to specifically thank a few people from the program. Thanks to Dr. Mru1in Lovelace for being a wonderful Chair and welcoming me into his office every time I appeared with a question or problem. I would like to thank Dr. Paul Smith for answering numerous questions, allowing me to search through his collection, and for all of the excellent meals he prepared over the years. Thanksgiving is never quite the same without him. Dr. Diane Tye was also a source of wisdom throughout the years (as well as lll a wonderful Chair). I thank her for being a positive role model and for all of her advice. Thanks to Dr. Cory Thorne and Dr. Philip Hiscock for answering half-formed questions and always having the time to talk. Dr. Holly Everett deserves special thanks for working on the Foodways issue of Culture & Tradition and for all of her immigration advice. Without the support of Cindy and Sharon, our support staff, I would have been lost - both literally and figuratively. They deserve special thanks for all their patience and kindness over the years. Finally, Diane Goldstein is an amazing advisor, professor, researcher, and mentor. She made me work harder than I thought possible and she forced me to acknowledge my shortcomings, yet still gave me the confidence and strength to overcome them. Thank you, Diane. Special thanks to the Newfoundland and Labrador Applied Health Centre for the funding for this project and their belief that a folklorist could do applied health research. The Stakeholders' meeting when Dr. Stephen Bornstein mentioned that he was really happy they funded me was one of my proudest moments. I would also like to thank those who helped me both out of kindness and interest in my research. Thanks to Dr. Jim Connor, Jolm Clinch Professor of Medical Humanities and History of Medicine, for opening his office door and spending hours recommending books and articles. His assistance gave me the background I needed to understand the importance of vaccination and it was his warm welcome that encouraged me to seek others for their help, such as Dr David Allison, Medical Officer of Health, Eastern Health. Dr. Allison assisted with finding infonnants and introducing me to countless IV people. His encouragement sustained me when I had difficulty finding people to interview. My thanks to Dr. Rick Cooper, Chief of Paediatrics, cannot be expressed in words. Dr. Cooper's help and suppot1 was crucial in the completion of this dissertation. I would like to thank him for his help with the project, encouraging me to speak at lectures and conferences, and his honesty. It seems every week brought word that Dr. Cooper mentioned me in a lecture or conversation, and he deserves thanks for being one of my strongest supporters. I would also like to thank the other graduate students in my department and life. Lynne McNeill, Jodi McDavid, Ian Brodie, and Lynda Daneliuk were always fmding useful information (often with an accompanied apology for adding yet another chapter to my thesis) and insight. Ginny Fugarino kept me sane with bizane tales and editing, and Jennifer Thorburn made the ultimate sacrifice by attempting to fix my bibliography and being my gym buddy. Jon Lee, in addition to his apologetic contributions, deserves thanks for responding to all my emails, tolerating my office visits, and contributing to my own folklore (and his missus deserves my thanks as well). As many who have gone before me have learned, writing a thesis is something you cannot do alone. I was fortunate enough to have "The Writing Girls": Shana, Sophia, Robin, and Kathryn. I thank them for their assistance and encouragement. I truly could not have done it without them. I would also like to thank the members of The Neighbourhood Strays Bellydance Troupe for never doubting that I would finish, even when I did. Their constant faith and cheer made Monday nights the best day of the week. v Lastly I would like to thank my family. Everyone was so encouraging through the process and never questioned why it would always take another year. My grandmother deserves my gratitude for always sending articles and words of encouragement. It always meant so much that updates on my work were worthy of being written down to share with others. A special thanks to Dr. Craig Brown, M.D., for medical advice and explanations, reading over countless drafts, and his support and love. Staying with me through comps was brave, but proposing marriage during the last year of my thesis was fearless - and it showed just how confident he is about us. Lastly, I would like to dedicate this research to my mother, who gave up so much to make sure I had evetything I needed to succeed. I am glad she considered how long it would take to do a Ph.D. when, after the first day of pre-school, I asked how much longer I had to go. Because of her I knew that anything was possible.

    House Bill 1306 Industry, Business and Labor January 19, 2021, 2:45 p.m. Good Morning Chairman Weisz and members of the House Human Services Committee. My name is Molly Howell and I am the Immunization Director of for the North Dakota Department of Health. I do not have testimony for HB1306 but want to let you know I am available virtually to answer questions, if needed. Additionally, attached is a list of studies that have been previously published regarding vaccines, autism and SIDS. Thank You. 1 Vaccine-Related Science: Autism and SIDS No Causal Association Found Autism Literature Reviews: Autism and Vaccines 1. Measles, Mumps, Rubella Vaccination and Autism: A Nationwide Cohort Study PDF available here Annals of Internal Medicine March 2019 The study strongly supports that MMR vaccination does not increase the risk for autism, does not trigger autism in susceptible children, and is not associated with clustering of autism cases after vaccination. It adds to previous studies through significant additional statistical power and by addressing hypotheses of susceptible subgroups and clustering of cases. 2. Autism Occurrence by MMR Vaccine Status Among US Children With Older Siblings With and Without Autism http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=2275444 The Journal of the American Medical Association April 2015 In this large sample of privately insured children with older siblings, receipt of the MMR vaccine was not associated with increased risk of ASD, regardless of whether older siblings had ASD. These findings indicate no harmful association between MMR vaccine receipt and ASD even among children already at higher risk for ASD.

  • Epistemic Institutions: Law's Encounters with Knowledge
    Epistemic Institutions: Law’s Encounters with Knowledge By James Dillon A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair Professor Andrea L. Roth Professor Amy E. Lerman Summer 2018 Abstract Epistemic Institutions: Law’s Encounters with Knowledge by James Dillon Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy University of California, Berkeley Professor Malcolm M. Feeley, Chair This dissertation examines the construction of “legal knowledge”—the finding of facts to which legal norms are to be applied in the adjudication of disputes—from an interdisciplinary perspective emphasizing epistemology, the sociology of scientific knowledge, political theory, and cognitive psychology. While the construction of legal knowledge is an essential component of the legal process and the principal task of American trial courts, the process remains fraught with practical and theoretical challenges that complicate simplistic conceptions of factfinding as a transparent process of veridical reconstruction of past events. Legal epistemic agents, like all epistemic agents, lack direct access to past events; thus, legal knowledge cannot perceive the past directly, but can only interpret it. The process of legal factfinding inevitably creates distortions and is subject to systemic biases in its effort to create a veridical construct of past events giving rise to a legal dispute. Although this dissertation cannot address every under-explored problem concerning the legitimacy and reliability of legal knowledge construction, its principal contribution is to bring interdisciplinary insights to bear on several of the more salient unresolved problems around the law’s engagement with knowledge claims and the construction of legal knowledge through the adversarial process.

  • Anti-Vaccinationism and Public Health in Nineteenth-Century England
    Medical History, 1988, 32: 231-252. THE POLITICS OF PREVENTION: ANTI-VACCINATIONISM AND PUBLIC HEALTH IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY ENGLAND by DOROTHY PORTER AND ROY PORTER* THE FRAMING OF THE LAW ON COMPULSORY VACCINATION AND THE ORGANIZATION OF OPPOSITION The coming of compulsory health legislation in mid-nineteenth-century England was a political innovation that extended the powers of the state effectively for the first time over areas of traditional civil liberties in the name of public health. This development appears most strikingly in two fields of legislation. One instituted compulsory vaccination against smallpox, the other introduced a system of compulsory screening, isolation, and treatment for prostitutes suffering from venereal disease, initially in four garrison towns.' The Vaccination Acts and the Contagious Diseases Acts suspended what we might call the natural liberty of the individual to contract and spread infectious disease, in order to protect the health ofthe community as a whole.2 Both sets oflegislation were viewed as infractions ofliberty by substantial bodies of Victorian opinion, which campaigned to repeal them. These opponents expressed fundamental hostility to the principle ofcompulsion and a terror of medical tyranny. The repeal organizations-above all, the Anti- Compulsory Vaccination League and the National Association for the Repeal of the Contagious Diseases Acts-were motivated by different sets of social and scientific values.3 Nevertheless, their activities jointly highlight some of the political conflicts produced by the creation of a public health service in the nineteenth century, issues with resonances for the state provision of health care up to the present day. Compulsory vaccination was established by the Vaccination Act of 1853, following a report compiled by the Epidemiological Society on the state ofvaccination since the *Dorothy Porter, PhD, and Roy Porter, PhD, Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine, 183 Euston Road, London NWI 2BP.

  • The English Revolution in Social Medicine, 1889-1911
    THE ENGLISH REVOLUTION IN SOCIAL MEDICINE, 1889-1911 UNIVERSITY OF LONDON PhD THESIS DOROTHY E. WATKINS 1984 To J.D.M.W. and E.C.W. 2 ABSTRACT The dissertation examines the development of preventive medicine between 1889-1911. It discusses the rise of expertise in prevention during this period and the consolidation of experts into a professional body. In this context the career histories of medical officers of health in London have been analysed to provide a basis for insight into the social structure of the profession. The prosopog- raphy of metropolitan officers demonstrated a broad spectrum of recruitment from the medical profession and the way in which patterns of recruitment changed over time. The level of specialisation in preventive medicine has been examined through a history of the development of the Diploma in Public Health. The courses and qualifying examinations undertaken by medical officers of health revealed the way in which training was linked to professionalisation through occupational monopoly. The association representing the interests of medical officers of health, their own Society, was Investigated through its recorded minutes of Council and Committees from the year it was first amalgamated into a national body, 1889, up to the date of the National Insur- ance Act in 1911. Here the aims and goals of the profession were set against their achievements and failures with regard to the new patterns of health care provision emerging during this period. This context of achievement and failure has been contrasted with an examination of the 'preventive ideal', as it was generated from within the community of preventive medical associations, of which the Society of Medical Officers of Health was one member.

I can assure you that getting this event off in only three weeks is a testament to the power of God working in a million big and little ways. It is also a testament to the talent, passion, and inspiration of some very dedicated and hard-working people. Today, we unite with all who are awake to the rising trend of medical tyranny. We join with those who have been silenced. We grieve with those who have lost so much. Finally, we rejoice that many more are waking up to the corruption of our health agencies and the failure of the pharma-medical paradigm every day. Kansans for Health Freedom is a young organization which came together in June of 2019. Our goal is to promote and uphold our constitutional freedoms for vaccine and medical choice and true informed consent. We want to see the needless injuries and deaths from vaccines eliminated. We want to hear the unheard and be a voice for the silenced. We want to educate the public about the very real risks of vaccines so that no more will be harmed. Our wonderful team has had an amazing year with many great learning experiences. Some of you have been a part of that, and we thank you!

  • Introduction
    CHAPTER ONE: Introduction 1.1: General introduction Your Committee having carefully considered the Message of His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, and having also communicated with the principal Medical Practitioners in Hobart Town, Launceston, and other parts of the country, and ascertained their opinions as to the best mode of promoting vaccination, (which is admitted by all competent authorities to be extremely desirable, as affording the best protection against the ravages of that dreadful disease the Small-pox), have arrived at the unanimous conclusion that the most, if not the only effectual means of rendering vaccination general throughout the Island, will be by passing an Act of the Legislature imposing a pecuniary penalty on the parent or guardian of any child, above the age of six months and under that of fourteen years, who shall, without reasonable cause or excuse, be found after the 1st day of April next not to have been vaccinated.1 With this seemingly uncontroversial recommendation in September 1853, the chairman of the Tasmanian Select Committee on Smallpox and Colonial Secretary, William Champ, set into motion the first Compulsory Vaccination Act in the Australian colonies. Carefully considered in light of expert opinion and local conditions, it also represents an early instance of the extension of state authority into the private lives of citizens and an integral component of the development of public health in the colonies. The presence of smallpox in Sydney caused this exotic and terrible disease to appear immediately threatening, making the widespread implementation of preventive measures reasonable. When Champ was writing the above statement, vaccination was not a new technology.
